Exactly. The Indian American crowd run away from their own culture. I met an Indian guy here and he completely denied that he was from India. He said he's from "Trinidad". Haha! So basically, they can all yap about peace and what not but they don't represent the true voice of India.
I met an Indian who told me that if it wasn't for China, India would've wiped Pakistan off the map a long time ago and he was serious and I met an Indian "Muslim" man who said Pakistan shouldn't even have existed...so Indians hate our existance...99% of them hate the existance of Pakistan. As for the Indians born here in U.S. they try way too hard to be American and try to get away from their Indian culture but goraiys will never accept them.
I am not to sure about all u guys seem to say... lol. :p I would'nt think that it can be said with certainty most Indians dont want peace.
A survey by RSCD taken in Urban areas of india cities of banglore, hyderabad, mumbai and few other cities proved that over 78% of the population did want peace.
However the issue with indians and pakistanis is our vast level of differences and the inability of either side specially these indians to accept them. As much as a different viewpoint or thought can land us on each others throats. The indians that know me know that i can discuss politics very calmly but new guys usually dont get it shout quite a lot. lol.
Our issue with Indians I would say is the constant media and government propaganda against our country which makes the normal citizens pretty retarded.
Also the double standards. Thats what i hate most. JuD is a terrorist organization but Purohit who did samjhauata and massacred pakistani civilians is not? Shiv Sena RSS and Bajrang Dal that kill thousands of minorities and terrorist modi and bal thakerey that slaughtered thousands are not terrorists at all and are never banned but an Islamic charity like Jamaat Ud Dawa that feeds over 80000 people is a terrorist organization even though it feeds hindus and christians who all rally behind it. Samjhauta left many pakistanis dead but why are the perpetrators not brought to justice. They want us to take action against a charity that will affect thousands but they themselves let murderers roam free. In 71 they claim they came to "help" the bangladeshis who wanted freedom but now Kashmir seems to be the internal problem of India even though they did interfere in the past and continue to do so in balochistan. U might be surprised to know that 7 seperatist figures for the BLA are living in India.
I would say first step to peace is acceptance of each others views and beliefs and abandoning of double standards which seems to be the norm for many indians. I think that is most important for a start.
Also a issue we Pakistanis have is we tend to Islamicize things which is actually a major issue with a 97% muslim population. For example if muslims are slaughtered in kashmir daily in gujrat and mumbai and constant monthly riots that leave 20-30 muslims dead then there are also operation bluestar and 1984 sikh genocide which we never raise our voice about. But they are humans troo that were killed and we dont condemn that but we raise hell over Kashmir. Why dont we bring up persecution of christians and genocide of Sikhs in India? They should be brought up as issues as well but we tend to ignore them as personal issues of India forgetting that we once suffered the same. We just treat Kashmir and massacre of Christians in kathmandal and Orissa as different for some reason.
We tend to think only as Muslims not as Human beings sometimes.
and you claim to live in Toronto. Take a look at the Trinidad wiki to understand that yes, there are people of Indian origin in Trinidad! Who knew! So that guy wasn't denying his heritage, he was actually from Trinidad.
